Higher first-pass intubation success rate using McGrath™ MAC video laryngoscope

A recent multicenter randomized controlled trial study demonstrates that using McGrath™ videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy improves first-pass tracheal intubation success in patients having elective surgery.1 Therefore practitioners may consider using this device as first choice for tracheal intubation.

OUR INTUBATION SOLUTION

With the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope, you can be better prepared for the unexpected.

Routine use of the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope (VL) improves first attempt success rate2 and lessens hemodynamic response6,7 while improving economic benefits,8,9 when compared to the traditional direct visualization (DL) technique. McGRATH™ MAC VL provides greater visualization3,4,8 with a familiar Macintosh blade, preparing you for the unexpected during every intubation.

Evolution of a familiar technique

A durable, warranty-protected instrument you can count on — during every intubation.

  • 2 X increased light spread*
  • 3 X brighter*
  • 4 X more pixels*

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

The McGrath™ MAC video laryngoscope provides a simple and convenient8,9 solution for intubation.

The latest design offers:*,5
